John show Camp, I am six 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: forty more stimulating taught Chris Merrill in for the boys 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: this afternoon. Brian, I sure hope you have a lot 13 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: of stuff, because I was distracted all afternoon. I probably 14 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: should have been putting together the show, but instead I 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: was watching the World Cup. I was just focusing on 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: the US and England. I love these I love these 17 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: major sporting events that happen every four years, like the 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: Olympics in the World Cup, because so many of us, 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: especially here in the United States. And I don't mean 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: to offend soccer fans, but so many of us in 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: the United States don't watch soccer at all. Right, we 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: just it's just not on the radar. It's not we 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: just have to be even if you're a soccer fan. 24 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. It's it's a growing sport, but it's 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: just not a major sport here in the United States. 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: And the same thing with the Olympics is like, you 27 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: watch the Olympics and it's the only time in your 28 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: entire life that you will watch fencing or crew or 29 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: whatever else it is. And I know there's always gonna 30 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: be somebody that's like, my kid is in fencing and 31 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: I watch it all the time. And yeah, I had 32 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: a daughter that was in water polo, and I used 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: to go to water polo events and do you know 34 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: how many events I watched outside of my daughter at 35 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: water polo? Zero? None, none. But all of a sudden, 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: we all become experts on the sport that moment, and 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: credit to the announcers that sort of bring us in. 38 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: And with the technology today, offsides such a it's just 39 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: a dumb rule in soccer. It's the dumbest rule there 40 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: is and it's so difficult. But now with technology, they 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: actually can bring in like three D and show you 42 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: exactly how offside someone was and I thought that was 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: a really cool edition this year. So I've been watching 44 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: this the US England and I was watching that all 45 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: day and I was I was buying into all the hype, 46 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: you know, Fox was building up all the hype on 47 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: this USA England and I was getting all stoked about this, 48 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: and yeah, this is It's revolutionary war, man, this is it. 49 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna take down England, you know. And I'm getting 50 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: all all worked up. And you know how that game ended, 51 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: did you see, Brian Zoe ended? Well? I didn't actually 52 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: see it, but I saw the score. Yeah, and it 53 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: was a thrilling zero to zero anticlimactic is what I 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: call that one. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm filling in for, 55 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, one of the top talk shows on one 56 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: of the top stations in the country. And what am 57 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: I doing. I'm watching zero zero tie in a game. 58 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: But you know, is inconsequential in my life, but it 59 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I was focused, that was zeroed in on it, 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: that was dialed in. The nice thing about working with 61 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: you this afternoon, Brian, is that it gave me a 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: reason one to avoid shopping, and then two. Because I 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: was avoiding shopping, I was able to see the game, 64 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: so order the match. I guess, I don't know how 65 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: you want to describe it. So that was an exciting 66 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: time for me. Hey, saving money is always good. I 67 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: have a bittersweet relationship with Black Friday because the economic side, right, 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: the fiscal guy in me, is excited for Black Friday. 69 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: I'm excited that retailers have an opportunity. Now, this is 70 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: supposed to be the time when they get out of 71 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: the red and get into the black, and this is 72 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: supposed to make or break their entire year. And I'm 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: always excited when when these retailers do well. I'm excited 74 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: when the consumer price index is staying you know where 75 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: it should be, when the consumer confidence this is going up. 76 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: All these different things, right, the fiscal side of me 77 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: goes great. But then like me personally, my god, there's 78 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: nothing more horrific than going into a packed shopping center. 79 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: I can't stand it. It's like I get anxiety around crowds. 80 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: And for a long time, my wife thought I was 81 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: just like putting her on, like You're just doing this 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: to get out of things. No, like I will start 83 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: my heart will start palpitating, my palms look at sweaty, 84 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: I'll feel like the room is closing in on me. 85 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: It's just it's too chaotic for me. Everybody moving in 86 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: different directions. It's just so chaotic, too many people around. 87 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: So this is bittersweet than I have with Black Friday. 88 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: But I was then able to avoid that today, so 89 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, I worked out really well for me. I 90 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: know that other people are not that way. I know 91 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: other people love to get out, but can we also 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: admit that Black Friday isn't what it used to be. 93 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: I know, it's it's like I'm gonna sound like one 94 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, but it is. It's not bad, 95 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: It's not worse than it used to be. I don't 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: have a nostalgia for the old days of getting up 97 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: at three or three thirty and then standing outside a 98 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: cools or something, right, I don't. I don't miss that 99 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: at all, especially me who has this, you know, anxiety 100 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: around large crowds. But it's different. You've got companies that 101 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: are starting their sales sooner, right, you have online shopping 102 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: that has really taken the place of in person shopping, 103 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: and in many circumstances for people like me who are 104 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: not crazy about crowds, I love doing the online shopping. Oh, 105 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: it's fantastic. I hope she's not listening. I got online 106 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: today and I was like, oh, look deals, I'll buy 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: my wife some Christmas presents today, which is also a trap. 108 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: It's totally a trap for me because I'm gonna buy 109 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: the Christmas presents. She's going to see the credit card 110 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: receipt she's going and how much I spent, and she's 111 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: going to say it wasn't worth it. I always she'll 112 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: say it wasn't worth it. You spent too much money. Okay, Well, 113 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: it's just like I didn't need that. I didn't need that, 114 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: And my wife is really tricky to buy for two 115 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: because my wife is funny. Like when I grew up, 116 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: we always tried to find gifts for family members that 117 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: they needed. And look, we weren't like we weren't. We 118 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: were just a very middle class family, upper Midwest poor area. 119 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: But we were doing fine, right my family was. There 120 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: was a time when it was a little rougher, but 121 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: for the most part, we did find So we just 122 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: tried to find useful gifts for somebody else, or if 123 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: it's something that my mother had been watching for a while, 124 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: then that was the thing. We go, okay, well, this 125 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: is the thing that she you know, she really needs 126 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: this thing. So it wasn't uncommon in my house for 127 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: my dad to buy my mom a vacuum cleaner, for instance. 128 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: And it seems like such an insensitive gift, but I 129 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: was raised in a really practical, logical household, Like, the 130 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner is the most logical gift that your mother 131 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: could use. She's been hauling around the old vacuum cleaner 132 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: for a very long time and it's very difficult for her. 133 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: She does not like this. The new vacuum cleaner will 134 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: be much much more useful. It's a utilitarian gift, and 135 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: my mom would be like, oh, a vacuum cleaner, This 136 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: is great. But if I get my wife a vacuum cleaner, 137 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: she doesn't look at it that way. My wife goes 138 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: a vacuum cleaner. Are you saying I'm dirty? Are you 139 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: saying that a house is unclean? This is the most 140 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: thoughtless thing I've ever seen in my life. My wife's 141 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: take is that holiday gift giving should be about spoiling somebody, right, 142 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: Neither version is wrong. But then I get this from 143 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: my wife, or I'll get her something and I'll go, oh, hey, 144 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: I got you something that you might not have otherwise 145 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: bought for yourself, right, I wanted to spoil you. And 146 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: she'll say, that's not what I wanted, that wasn't worth it. 147 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: It's such a catch. Twenty two for me sounds like it. Man, 148 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: it's rough. You know what I did one year and 149 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: this takes this spoils all of the shopping all together 150 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: one year. For my wife, she used to get on me. 151 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: I was working at a radio station and I did 152 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: I did a morning show on a music station, and 153 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: then I would I would I had a two hour 154 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: break and then I would do a talk show on 155 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: the AM. And so during that two hours, my producer 156 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: and I we would go to the Ralphs. It was 157 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: Dylan's where we were, but you know it's the Kroger store. 158 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: So we go to Ralph's and we'd always get you know, 159 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: it's a bite to eat every day. My wife got 160 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: on me. She says, you're spending too much money going 161 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: out to eat every day. And I would have to say, well, 162 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to the grocery store, and she say, 163 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, you're going out to eat Okay. So 164 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: she got on me about this, so I decided, all right, 165 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: she already knows, and I'm spending money going out to eat. 166 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: So then for a little while, I stopped buying food 167 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: during my little two hour break, and I started taking 168 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: that money and I started putting it away. Right, one year, 169 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: for Christmas, I gave my wife an envelope with all 170 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: the money that I had saved up right. I know 171 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: it sounds so insensitive, doesn't it. It's a great idea, 172 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: I think, but it seems so impersonal. I was like, 173 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't think of the right thing to give you, 174 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: So I just skipped lunch for like three months, and 175 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: here's the six hundred dollars I saved. And she was like, 176 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: this is amazing. Home run. Yeah, yeah, so I nailed that. 177 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: The other thing that is a little different this year, 178 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: when we talk about you know, you're not getting out 179 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: and you're not doing the early shopping like in the 180 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: doorbusters and all that stuff like we've done in year's past. 181 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: We don't have people trampling one another at Walmart anymore. Uh, 182 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: not so much. I haven't seen a story like that 183 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: in quite a few years, which is great. But when 184 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: I was a kid. We didn't go out to the 185 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: doorbusters wearing our pajamas. That is a weird thing that's 186 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: going on now, have you noticed. I was watching the reports, 187 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, KTLA and maybe C seven and everybody that 188 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: we're all doing their their morning shows, and they're all 189 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: doing their morning reports, and they were all, Oh, let's 190 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: let's go see what somebody's doing at this outlet mall, 191 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: and let's go to this mall whatever it is, and 192 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: and I was just stunned. I was watching the people 193 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: in the background. I couldn't believe how many people were 194 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: wearing pajamas. Oh yeah, that's so bizarre to me. It's 195 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're trying to advertise comfort, but 196 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: it's it's not a good look. Yeah. Maybe maybe that 197 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 1: lowers crowds because you don't want to get close to 198 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: the people wearing. Yeah, it's kind of a people of 199 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: Walmart look, isn't Yeah exactly, it really is. And I 200 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: there's this you know, you see college students do that 201 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: all the time, where college students will they'll wear their 202 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: pajamas to go get their Starbucks, but usually by noon 203 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: they've put pants on. It's a little different if you're 204 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: actually planning on going out and being in public for 205 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: a few hours while you're doing the shop, and you 206 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: probably ought to just throw some pants on before you 207 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: go do that. Somebody running around and there, Hello, kitty 208 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: pajama bottoms. And I'm not talking about leggings, right, I'm 209 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: talking about fuzzy pajama bottoms that they're wearing out. It's 210 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: just so bizarre to me, so so weird to me. 211 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: I did watch a good deal of World Cup. If 212 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: you have not been watching, let me see if I 213 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: can paint the picture for you that will make it 214 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: at least a little bit entertaining. Because this is the 215 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: most watched event globally that there is. It's bigger than 216 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, it's bigger than the Olympics. It is 217 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: the most watched. It will be a billion people will 218 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: tune into the World Cup at some point. It really 219 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: is a huge deal internationally. I'll see if I can 220 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: paint a picture. Even if you're not a soccer fan, 221 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: I'll see if I can paint it. If you are, 222 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: then you know, hopefully you've had the same enthusiasm that 223 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: I've had through this tournament. I'll see if I can 224 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: paint a picture that sort of draws you in and 225 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: entices you a little bit. We'll do that here in 226 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: just a few moments. I'm Chris merrill in for John 227 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: and Kennon KF I AM six forty.

So they 240 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: had a draw, and then I flipped on and was 241 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: listening to Mo here and talking about the movies and 242 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: the Marvel universe and the DC universe here for the 243 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: last hour. It's always great to hear MO. And I'm 244 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: looking forward to the Small Business Saturday Show. The world 245 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: Cup is the one time every four years that I 246 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: end up watching soccer. I wish I could get into 247 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: soccer more. And I will say this, two of my 248 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: favorite shows right now on streaming is Ted Lasso, which 249 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: is show about soccer coach and Welcome to Wrexham, which 250 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: is the Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclaney team that they bought. 251 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: They bought a I mean, what would be like a 252 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: like a single A baseball team here in the United States. 253 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: That's basically what the Wrexham football club is. They're on 254 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: the bottom tier of English soccer trying to work their 255 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: way up, which they're allowed to do there. It's it's 256 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: a fascinating system that I think it is pretty cool. 257 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: I'd like to see it implemented in a few different 258 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: US sports as well, where the worst team in the 259 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: league is relegated to the next lower level and the 260 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: best team at the lower level gets a chance gets 261 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: a shot at the at the higher level, which would 262 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: mean if if your Triple A baseball team were to 263 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: win the Triple A you know league or whatever, they 264 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: would then be elevated into Major League Baseball, and then 265 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: the worst team in Major League Baseball would be dropped down, 266 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: so you know, the Rockies would be booted or something 267 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: like that, right, So I think that's I think that's 268 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: a cool system that they have. That said, that's I mean, 269 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: that's the closest I get to soccer. If you are 270 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: like me and soccer is just not your thing, I 271 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: get it. I'm with you because, as I pointed out, 272 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: as Brian and I have kind of said that, you know, 273 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: after ninety minutes it was a zero zero draw, So 274 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: that's ninety minutes you'll never get back. But there is 275 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: something about soccer that I like, and some of it 276 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: actually comes back to the boring part. So much of these, 277 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: so many of these these draws, these and there have 278 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: been five zero zero I'm gonna call them ties because 279 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm an American. Five zero zero ties in the World 280 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: Cup so far, which is super boring. You would think 281 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: some of those are some of them are not. The 282 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: US England zero zero draw really was not that boring, 283 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: especially if you're a US fan. And the reason is 284 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: the US was on the attack. They really controlled the 285 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: ball for most of that game, match whatever you want 286 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: to call it, and so that was fun to see. 287 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: It was fun to watch all the different scoring opportunities. 288 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: The amount of downtime that they have in soccer when 289 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: the ball is just being kicked back and forth in 290 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: the midfield feels like, my gosh, I might as well 291 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: be watching a commercial break right now. Definitely, I get it, 292 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: but it almost goes to build the anxiety, the good anxiety, 293 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: the tension, the hopefulness when there is an attack, when 294 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: there is an opportunity. It's almost like all of that 295 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: waiting around sort of builds things up even further. Right, 296 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: you're edging for thirty minutes until your team has a 297 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: header that goes off the post, and my goodness, your 298 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: heart skips a beat. It really is fantastic in that regard. 299 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: Unlike basketball, where every time somebody goes down the court, 300 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: they're shooting and they're making a bucket, and you really 301 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: have to get through the first the first one and 302 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: a half halves I guess of the basketball game before 303 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: it might get exciting. With soccer, you've got these moments 304 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: of absolute thrill or absolute terror. If it's another team 305 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: that scores on your team, because you know how difficult 306 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: it is to score, it really builds it builds it 307 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: up so high, and then oh, it hit the post 308 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: I went in and you really you're just it's higher 309 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: highs and lower lows. I think because of all that 310 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: downtime in the middle, that part of it is really thrilling. 311 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: It is. There's another piece of this World Cup that 312 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: I find fascinating, and that is the political side of 313 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: it all. Katar. I think I'm saying that as close 314 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: as I can. The English seem to pronounce it better 315 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: than the Americans do, but Katar, I believe it's as 316 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: close as I'm gonna get to being able to say 317 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: it correctly. They banned alcohol sales. There's been a lot 318 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: of controversy around them being awarded the World Cup because 319 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: they basically bribed their way in. They had to build 320 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: nine massive stadiums. It'd be like it'd be like, you 321 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: have to understand, the country is about the size of Connecticut. 322 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: So suppose that Connecticut were to win the World Cup 323 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: and didn't have any major football stadiums, right, just nothing. 324 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: They had to build nine stadiums, and these are fantastic stadiums. 325 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: It is like building nine Sofi stadiums that they did, 326 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: which just shows you how much excess there is in 327 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: Karar Katan Katar, right, I apologize. I'm just not gonna 328 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 1: be able to say correctly. There's so much excess, so 329 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: much wealth, it's really it's really gluttonous. And the division 330 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: between the halves and the have nots is remarkable. It's 331 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: a disgusting display. And yet once the ball is dropped 332 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: on the pitch, all of that sort of just goes away. 333 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: It just sort of vanishes. You don't even worry about 334 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: that because you're watching your team, you know, kill thirty 335 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: minutes before they get a scoring opportunity. The other thing 336 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: I think is fascinated watching this through is the Iran 337 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: government supporters are confronting the Iran protesters at the World Cup. 338 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: You know, Iran has had all the different protests that 339 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: have gone on over their treatment, especially women, and so 340 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: you've had a bunch of protesters that have popped in there, 341 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: and then you had pro government Irani's that were confronting 342 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: the protests. Iran incidentally made a big push and ended 343 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: up beating Whales. Nobody thinks of Iran as being a 344 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: soccer or football powerhouse. Nobody thinks of that. But they 345 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: put up three goals against Wales today, or they won 346 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: by three goals. That was huge. Big enough that when 347 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: the United States went on their ninety minute zero zero draw, 348 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: it means that the United States now has to beat 349 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: Iran in order to advance out of what they call 350 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: the group stage as the first round. It's kind of 351 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: a round robin play that advances them then into the 352 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: bracket play of the tournament. If the United States can't 353 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: beat Iran, they're out. That's it. So the stakes get 354 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: higher and higher. Of course, as these round robin players 355 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: go on longer and longer, and teams in the United 356 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: States should have womped on Whales. We had a draw 357 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: with Wales. We should We did really well to have 358 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: pull a draw with England. We should beat Iran, but 359 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: Iran just whumped Wales. Wales is the team that we tied. 360 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 1: So the only way that the United States continues on 361 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: is if we beat Iran. And let's face it, that's 362 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: good for ratings. Right now, Fox Sports is watching the 363 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: United States in this Iran game, and they're gonna build 364 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: this thing up huge, because if the United States is bounced, 365 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna lose eighty plus percent of their American audience, 366 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: just gone like that. But they also know that if 367 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: the United States wins and advances, and it is into 368 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: this bracket tournament play that all of a sudden their 369 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: coverage becomes musty television, absolutely gotta watch it. United States 370 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: is advancing in the world stage. This is huge. It 371 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: will put us in with some of those other countries 372 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: that are so well known for soccer, the Brazil's, England, France, Spain, 373 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: maybe Argentina. Argentina got upset. They have kind of a 374 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: crawl back into it. But some of these other teams 375 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: that have garnered so much attention, the United States could 376 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: be part of that. If they're not Foxes, Like, what 377 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: did we pay for these rights for? Why did we 378 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: do that? If they do all of a sudden, Foxes 379 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: Gamble pays off Bigle, they would say, big Lee, I 380 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: will still watch. The reason I'll still watch is because 381 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm a degenerate and every I've got a friend of 382 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: mine that is a huge degenerate, and every time there's 383 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: any sporting event, he puts together an office pool. So 384 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: I've got a few teams that I'm watching and I 385 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: need them to advance. So even if the United States loses, 386 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: I still have other teams that I'll be watching and 387 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: hoping that they advance so that I can win my 388 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars. It's it's amazing how you can have 389 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: such such a little bit of an investment and all 390 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it just emotionally attaches you like an 391 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: umbilical court. You just you can't cut it. All right, 392 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk about what's affecting Californians, including this drought and 393 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: who it's really hitting the hardest. That is, in just 394 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: a few moments. Let's check on news first. Kay, if 395 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: I am six forty, we're live everywhere in your heart 396 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: radio app. Was perusing the different news sources today sing 397 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: this ongoing Bridge of the only times has been doing 398 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: the ongoing drought and what it's doing to people, and 399 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: the headline that really caught my eye was the California 400 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: droughts intensify ecosystems and rural communities will bear the bruntum. 401 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: The the difficulty with the drought, of course, comes back 402 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: to the climate change that we're seeing. And I know 403 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: whenever I talk about this, and I will, I will 404 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: talk to people that go It's just it's part of 405 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: the natural cycles. As i'mgoing debate, my pops and I 406 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: will talk and he'll always say something like, how's the 407 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: drought going, and I'll go, well, it stinks, and thanks 408 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: for the climate change, and I'll go, there's no there's 409 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: no change. He's always on this, there's no change, okay. 410 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: Which Pops is in a very rural area, right, And 411 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: when you talk about rural communities, they're the ones that 412 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: seem to be the most opposed to anything that would 413 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: directly combat climate change. And I have this unique perspective. 414 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: I say, it's it's not really that unique, but I 415 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: find that depending on people's circumstances, they tend to deny 416 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: the perspectives of others. I have I've enjoyed. I grew 417 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: up in a very small town, very rural area, and then, 418 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: of course, as my career has grown, I've been moving 419 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: to larger and larger cities, which is which has been wonderful. 420 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: It was very intimidating at first, but it's been it's 421 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: been a wonderful experience. And I also tend to see 422 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: so many differences between the rural perspective and the urban perspective, 423 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: and those are so evident, so evident, and certain issues 424 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: that have become political lightning rods. The one that's the 425 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: most obvious to me is guns. That becomes very obvious 426 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: very quickly. If you are if you are in Orange 427 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: County and you hear a gunshot, that's problematic, right. However, 428 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: if you're in a very rural area and you hear 429 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: a gunshot, it's probably very normal. A couple of years back, 430 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: I went to Thanksgiving at my folks place, and they 431 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: live in northern Michigan. Thanksgiving happens to fall during deer season, 432 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: and they live back in the woods. So you wake up, 433 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: the sun comes up, and you start hearing gunshots, and 434 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: it's just normal you hear gunshots because people are out hunting. 435 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: They're hunting the dar as you hear the gunshots. They 436 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: might be half a mile away. They might be I 437 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: think he's got a neighbor that hunts, and I'm trying 438 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: to think about how far back that I don't know, 439 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: Maybe three hundred yards back there behind his house. Not 440 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: unusual at all. Imagine if you are, if you're in 441 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: Ventura and you hear a gunshot only three hundred yards away, 442 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: My god, you're ducking right. Perspective is completely different between 443 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: the rural and the urban communities when it comes to 444 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: things like firearms. Religion is another one. I see a 445 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: big difference in the the rural and the urban areas, 446 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: and I think that has a lot to do with 447 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: the churches being the center of the communities. In rural areas, 448 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: it is the gathering point, it's the networking site, it's 449 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: a big deal, whereas there are many other opportunities to 450 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: connect socially with people in urban areas. But then one 451 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: of the others that I find myself noticing stark difference. 452 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: A stark difference is when it comes to climate change. 453 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: In urban areas, you have a number of people that go, 454 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: my god, climate change is horrible. It's getting warmer all 455 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: the time. And of course they're living in these different 456 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: You're living in a hot area right where the asphalt 457 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: and concrete are are holding heat in longer, and so 458 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: your summers seem hotter. You live in If you're in California, 459 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: maybe you're not seeing the water drying up, especially if 460 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: you're near the coastline. You're not hearing that. You're not 461 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: seeing the water drying up, but you know it is 462 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: because you continue to get all these different reports, especially 463 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: from the rural areas. The rural areas, maybe they're in denial. 464 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: But I think that the denial about climate change comes 465 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: more from a place of self preservation than anything else. 466 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: Let me explain this. It seems counterintuitive if you're in 467 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: a rural area, right, and these are the areas that 468 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: are affected the most by climate change, especially in California, 469 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: where we've got people in rural areas that are on 470 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: well water and the wells are drying up, and that's bad. 471 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: That's a bad thing. I don't know if you've ever 472 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: experienced to dry well. It's not a lot of fun. 473 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: And it's very, very costly to try to find more 474 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: water or to dig another well that might go deeper. 475 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: It's very expensive. And so part of the denial has 476 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: to do with basically the hope that it's not as 477 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: bad as what the people on the TV from the 478 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: urban areas are telling you. Those same people that want 479 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: to take your guns away and destroy your religion are 480 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: now trying to tell you that your well is going 481 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: to dry up. And then your well drives up and 482 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: you go, well, it's because of those other people, right, 483 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: So it's really easy to blame people that have a 484 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: different perspective. The rural areas, though, especially the farmland areas 485 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: are sort of gonna damned if you do, damned if 486 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: you don't. Situation. So, while they're the most affected by 487 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: things like climate change, the idea of regulating so much 488 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: of what they do for environmental reasons is they feel 489 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: like it's business suicide to them. Suppose that you run 490 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: a farm and you have to have a good deal 491 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: of water. The water is drying up. The solution is 492 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: environmental regulations, and you go, wait a minute. If you 493 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: start regulating things and you start decreasing the amount of 494 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: water I can use, i won't be able to sustain 495 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: my farm and I'll be out of business, and then 496 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: my family is going to be displaced, and it's going 497 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: to be awful. It's horrible, right, And so they said, well, 498 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to oppose the environmental regulations. Of course they're 499 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: going to oppose the environmental regulations, because if they if 500 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: they accept the environmental regulations, that's like throwing in the towel. 501 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: What are they going to do. The immediate impact of 502 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: environmental regulations is far scarier than the potential long term 503 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: impact of climate change. So if they can maintain a 504 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: logical consistency where they say climate change isn't really going on, 505 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: or it's not as bad as what those liberals in 506 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: the big cities are telling us. Then they go, so 507 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: we have to avoid the environmental regulations so that we 508 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: can operate today, and then what they're telling us is 509 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: all a lie about the long term impact. So it 510 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: won't be a problem because the further way a threat 511 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: is the less of a threat, it seems, and especially 512 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: if you deny the threat even exists. So the thought 513 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: is that if you can avoid those restrictions or regulations 514 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: regarding environmentalism, that it's not it's going to be better 515 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: at the moment, and then maybe those predictions for future 516 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: issues aren't going to come to fruition at all. We 517 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: kind of saw this in the twenty teens, right, we 518 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: were going through all the different droughts in the twenty teens, 519 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: and of course northern California had it worse than we 520 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: did for a long time, and we were hearing about 521 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: all the different you know, water woes and how we 522 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: might be impacted because of the water we get from 523 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: northern California, and they were suffering worse drought than we were. 524 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: But then the drought, of course, it's spread throughout the 525 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: entire state. It was a bad situation. All of a sudden, 526 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: we had a couple of really wet winters and we 527 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: found ourselves coming out of the drought status. Reservoirs were 528 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: filling back up, Snow caps were as high as they've 529 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: been in a long time, and that was great. And 530 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: so that was almost that weather phenomenon became almost evidence 531 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: in the minds of some people that it's simply cyclical, 532 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: there's no real environmental change going on. But then just 533 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: a couple of years later, and here we are back 534 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: again in another drought, and a severe drought as bad 535 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: or worse than what we saw a few years ago. 536 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: Those in the rural communities are really in a notion 537 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: no win situation because the impact of the rural communities 538 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: and the farms going under. If environmental regulations are too stringent, 539 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: we'll have devastating effects on all of us. However, without 540 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: implementing changes to the way that we do things, those 541 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: farms are still going to go under and it will 542 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: have devastating effects on all of us. So what's the solution, right, 543 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: And this has been the argument that's going to continue 544 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: to go on. First of all, nobody can come to 545 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: a consensus on what the solution might be. And certainly, 546 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: even if we could see a solution, you're going to 547 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: continue to have people in those communities the most affected 548 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: by climate change that are going to say your solution 549 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: is too devastating to us to press forward. In the 550 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: first place I was looking, cal matters had some ideas 551 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: for boosting water supply, including recycling, more desalination, capturing stormwater runoff, 552 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: changing the agriculture altogether, getting away from things like tree 553 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: nuts and stuff like that into something else that is 554 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: less water intensive. Getting rid of lawns, which of course 555 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: we've already done a good deal of here in southern California, 556 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: but northern California not so much, some of the Central 557 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: Valley not so much. More open up the water reservoirs. 558 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: The problem with all of these different solutions they're expensive, 559 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: and who's going to pay for it? Because the people 560 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: in the rural areas are they're not they're not seeing 561 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: minimum wages around twenty dollars an hour right there. They're 562 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: still trying to scrape by. They don't have a whole 563 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: lot of extra money to be dumping into more mitigation systems, 564 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: so they want to vote against these things to their 565 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: own long term detriment. One might argue it's pennywise and 566 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: pound foolish. But if you're not, if your business doesn't 567 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: survive through the next drought, it doesn't really It doesn't 568 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,239 Speaker 1: really matter whether or not any of those predictions come 569 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: to fruition. If you don't get through today, you can't 570 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: really worry about tomorrow. It's sort of the mindset. There's 571 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: my rural versus urban comparison. For today's show, You're welcome. 572 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: I want to get antisocial with you. A studying antisocial 573 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: ness says is next.

It's like the what's that that 596 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: character in Batman two face? Is that the one? It's 597 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: like a Jacquelin Hide situation, right, It's so Jacquelin Hide. 598 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: That's what I find with social media. I was I 599 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: was in for Gary and Shannon yesterday and I revealed 600 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: that I have a burner account for one of my 601 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: social media I only have one. It's on Instagram, and 602 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: most people set up a burner account, so that they 603 00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: can be anonymous and be rotten. I'm the other way, 604 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: and I would recommend it. My Burner account is simply 605 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: goodwill things. Twitter excuse me. Instagram keeps sending me a 606 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: political crap. You know, They're like, oh, you might be 607 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: interested in this, and it's just political drama, you know. 608 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: The Burner account is for the cliche as cat videos. 609 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily care for cat videos, but I do 610 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: follow otters on there. I follow otters, nature photos, sunsets, flowers, 611 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: people who travel to different places, explore different cultures. That 612 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: Burner account is all positive stuff, and I will sometimes 613 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: spend too much time doom scrolling on Twitter, and then 614 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: I find myself going to this Instagram Burner account and 615 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: just sort of cleansing my emotional palette with positivity. It 616 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 1: sounds a little a little hippie dip, doesn't it, Little 617 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: namaste everyone? No, but that it's not it. It's just 618 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: I need to get away from the negativity sometimes, so 619 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: social media is great for that sort of thing. I 620 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: also follow it for breaking news, which can or or 621 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: may not necessarily even be accurate. I don't know if 622 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: he caught this. The ap fired one of the reporters. 623 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: They were sending slack matches messages in one of the 624 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: private slack It was like the slack reporter room, and 625 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: you may have seen the actual report come across one 626 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: of your other social media feeds. A ten minute miscommunication 627 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: at slack between journalists of the AP resulted in an 628 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: erroneous report last week that appeared momentarily to bring tensions 629 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: between NATO and Russia to their highest points since the 630 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: Cuban missile crisis. I saw this kind of freaked me 631 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: out a bit. Last choose d the AP posted a 632 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: news alert saying that senior US intelligence officials say Russian 633 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: missiles crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people, noting 634 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: that leaders in Poland were holding an emergency meeting due 635 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: to a crisis situation. I saw that. I saw that 636 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: report and I went, oh boy, that's it too. You 637 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: saw it too, told my wife. I was like, oh, 638 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: here we go, here we go. And I don't know 639 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: about you, but I thought it's World War three, you know, 640 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: we've been all we're waiting for is something to cross 641 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: over from this, you know, proxy war kind of things 642 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: like being in the Cold War again, where we have 643 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: these proxy wars going on. All it takes is one 644 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: strike in a NATO land and suddenly we're in it. 645 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: Come to find out, No, that was mistaken. James Laporta 646 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: was the reporter, a national security advisor, excuse me, national 647 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: security reporter for the ape, got the initial tip that 648 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: set the story in motion. Then he had fired for 649 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: sending out false information basically on this slack page slack 650 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: is it's sort of how do I describe this an 651 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: enhanced messenger type of thing, Yeah, into office messaging. Yeah, 652 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 1: and and basically you can set up your own networks 653 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, so think of it like a Facebook group. Almost. 654 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: The Beast reported that Laporta left the impression that the 655 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: stories sourcing had been approved. That is, according to The 656 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: Daily Beast was reporting, they were the first to report 657 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: that Laporta got fired. The slag messages on which the 658 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: incident played out tell a different story of honest mistakes, 659 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: internal confusion, and a lack of clear process that led 660 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: to the disaster for one of the few news organizations 661 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: whose Twitter presence is an authoritative account for world affairs. 662 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: What is the most important thing in news, and Brian, 663 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: you'll agree with me on this is credibility absolutely, credibility absolutely. 664 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: And when you have somebody who's firing this off in 665 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,240 Speaker 1: a private group and then people run with it because 666 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 1: this is someone who generally comes to the table with credibility. Boy, 667 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: that really hurts everything. What we find out they were 668 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: not Russian missiles. They were I believe Ukrainian missiles that 669 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: went airing right they were. It was a goofye, so 670 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: we don't end up in World War three. The report 671 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: has to be withdrawn. H and the guy that fired 672 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: off that that social media message gets canned. Then there 673 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: are other instances of social media getting some real creeps 674 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: off the street. I don't know if you caught the story. 675 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: Let see, I think it was. Yeah. Fox eleven is 676 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: where I saw the story. A teacher from the Tustin 677 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: area behind bars after a TikTok video exposed alleged lude 678 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: message lud text messages with a minor. According to the 679 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: OC Sheriff's Department deputy, he's got a tip from a 680 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: TikTok video that showed a person confronting a teacher later 681 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: identified as forty seven year old Roger Cavagan for allegedly 682 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: exchanging inappropriate text with a mining The investigation stemming from 683 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: the social media video led to Cavigan being arrested on Wednesday. Cavigan, 684 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: taught at Foothill High School, was booked for a leggedly 685 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: contacting a minor with no excuse me with intent to 686 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: commit sexual assault. So City News Service contributing to that 687 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: report as well. It sounds like one of the peers 688 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 1: of the individual involved got ahold of the text messages, 689 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: or maybe the individual involved in themselves. I don't know. 690 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: I didn't see the TikTok video, but it sounds like 691 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: they confronted the teacher, didn't go to the police, but 692 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: the police end up seeing the video, which of course 693 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: streamed on social media. So social media ends up bringing 694 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: down alleged I'm got to be careful here too. Allegedly 695 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,760 Speaker 1: it certainly has gotten this person into a real mess, 696 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: this teacher, And if it's true that this teacher was 697 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: in fact exchanging lute text messages with the minor, then 698 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: it's because of social media that the word got out. 699 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,800 Speaker 1: Just pro tip. Probably better off to report that to 700 00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: authorities first. I think that's a scary proposition for a 701 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,359 Speaker 1: lot of kids. I think that's terrifying. They don't want 702 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: to go to their parents. They don't want to, but 703 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: they want to embarrass the teacher, but probably better off 704 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: to just go to the authorities in the first place. 705 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: And then finally, I O'Brien, you've been very concerned with 706 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: the blackout over Jennifer Lopez's social media the j LO 707 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: BLACKOUTEP me up, I know it has ben. Yeah, she's 708 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: deleted all of her Instagram posts and she changed her 709 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: profile picture to a black circle. Her profile photos also 710 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: went black on Twitter and TikTok, and her Facebook profile 711 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 1: picture is now just a dark background with her name 712 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: written in lowercase cursive, and many fans are wondering if 713 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: this cursive signature and Facebook is a subtle clue about 714 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: what's coming, because it appears to exactly match how her 715 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: name was written on the cover of her two thousand 716 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: and two album This is Me. Then guess the name 717 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: of the album This is Me? Then, So now somebody 718 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: thinks she's gonna put out another album saying this is Me. 719 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: Now that's your update, Brian, So you can probably get 720 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: a few winks in tonight. Anyway, I was just deeply 721 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: trouble rest easy on that. Yeah, it doesn't sound like 722 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: she's boycotting social media. It sounds like it maybe some 723 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: sort of a marketing scam. Oh good, you're welcome, I've 724 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: updated you.
